A REMINDER - TO MYSELF

The site SO SAID THE SAP was set up as a follow-up to writing words and making a paper collage to go with them Both are below The words have been strung together to limit their use of space The image below is a scan of the original collage

On the way to live out life

These words may not be heard as rap but they
were written by a sap who could not see that need and greed can oft times quell
true love's appeal who could not see that what they saw was victim of their
deepest flaw a tendency to keep repeating what they had when four or more

Around that time the date's not clear but what
they got was stark - a fear of losing what they had and whether light or dark
the fear was bad or bad enough to find a place in everything they did - a trace
of fear ran through their every move and kept them tied to anxious mood To
hesitating stepping back scared of falling off the track that others rode with
engines stoked with words of love of praise of hope that all would play
out good and true that what they had would see them through

But being sap does not require to also breathe
a bitter fire upon all those who have it good although a bit more sharing
would improve the lot of those who feel they never got their early needs met in
ways that set them free of fear - the sort I'm citing here

So said the sap the day they found love does
not always leap and bound to fill the heart and head with joy sometimes
its crap and but a ploy to satisfy the selfish needs which found a place
when grief destroyed those tender moments soft and kind which we all
need if we're to find within ourselves a peace of mind
